Document Three:
Speaking to Erasmus, "Throughout your treatment you forget that you said
that 'free-will' can do nothing without grace, and you prove that 'free-will'
can do all things without grace! Your inferences and analogies "For if man
has lost his freedom, and is forced to serve sin, and cannot will good, what
conclusion can more justly be drawn concerning him, than that he sins and
wills evil necessarily?"
Martin Luther BW pg. 149

Document Seven:
“Yet it means not inward repentance only; nay, there is no inward repentance
which does not outwardly work divers mortifications of the flesh.”
“The penalty, therefore, continues so long as hatred of self continues; for this
is the true inward repentance, and continues until our entrance into the
kingdom of heaven.”
“The pope does not intend to remit, and cannot remit any penalties other than
those which he has imposed either by his own authority or by that of the
Canons.”
“The pope cannot remit any guilt, except by declaring that it has been remitted by God and by assenting to God's remission; though, to be sure, he may grant remission in cases reserved to his judgment. If his right to grant remission in such cases were despised, the guilt would remain entirely unforgiven.” Martin Luther, Ninty-five Theses
Document Eight:
"True evangelical faith cannot lie dormant. They are children of peace who have beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning forks, and know no war. Our weapons are not weapons with which cities and countries may be destroyed, walls and gates broken down, and human blood shed in torrents like water. Iron and metal spears and swords we leave to those who, alas, regard human blood and swine’s blood of well-nigh equal value." "We who were formerly no people at all, and who knew of no peace, are now called to be ... of peace. They are the children of peace. Their hearts overflow with peace. Their mouths speak peace, and they walk in the way of peace." Menno Simons
